Lack of planning is the most time-wasting thing you can do. Take 30 minutes at the beginning of the day, or the ending of the day to plan your day’s work. Divide it into 4 sections:

Gotta do

Wanna do

May do

Ain’t gonna do

Then, set your priorities.

"If it your job to eat a frog, it;s best to do it first thing in the morning, and if its your job to eat two frogs, its best to eat the Biggest one first" . Mark Twain.

You described my last two days perfectly Joe. I am frantically trying to get that site going and every bit of advice is welcomed. I should have it done in a couple of days and when it is done, I will post it in a message for those who want to see it and ask for critique.
Sincerely,
Kathy Berry

I read you loud and clear - we tend to overthink and linger on little things way too much or too long, we need to take time to handle tasks as they come up and be done.

Time we start setting new examples for others, our followers, to follow so we all feel we have gained more time.

Thank you for this post, really makes one stop and think how much time we really waste.

Joe, you are absolutely right that one thing we all have equally is time. We all have the same 24 hours a day. You mentioned some great tips to focus on what is important and act on those while eliminating time wasters. These are distractions that eats our time away, making us feel we don’t have time because we are busy.

That is very well said. I went through your post and I had a few frogs today to eat.

But as far as planing I do need to work on that when I blog here. My website blogs are on time as usual.

Something I do when I need to plan something out is I take a scrapbook and I write down what days I need to do something for myself and what I need to blog about here.
